Simpson met with Madame Tussauds artists where more than 300 precise measurements of his head and body were taken to create a perfect replica of the rising star. He also provided artists with clothing and accessories for his figure. The artists are so detailed they even replicated a tear in one of his shoes and copied the graffiti art on Simpson’s guitar.
 
“Working with the Madame Tussauds team was a really unique experience,” said Simpson. “I am excited to share the unveiling of my new Madame Tussauds figure with my fans in Orlando.”
